Port of Waterford Masterplan Summary 2019.Indd Masterplan 2020 – 2044 Summary for Consultation June/July 2019 1 2 Foreword to Masterplan 2020 / 2044 Port of Waterford Company (Port of Waterford) is the commercial state company responsible for the operation and development of Waterford Port. The port is one of five ports of National Significance within the terms of National Ports Policy 2013 and is classified as a comprehensive port on the EU’s Ten-T network. Vision Our vision is to be the preferred cargo gateway for the South East Region Mission Our mission is to provide infrastructure and services to enable trade and economic development in the Region. Port Activity The Port is active in bulk handling, break bulk/project cargoes and container handling (Lo-Lo). Bulk and break-bulk volumes in 2018 exceeded 1.7 million tonnes with container handling standing at 44k TEU. The bulk side of the business is predominately import and focussed on agri-inputs. The container operation supports a wide range of imports and regional exporters from the food, pharmaceutical and other sectors. The annual value of goods through the Port was estimated at €1.7 billion in 2017 with just under 1,000 jobs in, or supported by businesses in, the port zone. Economic Context The Republic of Ireland is a trading nation and as an Island the movement of the vast majority of traded goods happens through our sea ports. The Irish economy has achieved impressive growth/recovery since 2013 with a concentration of this growth in and around the Greater Dublin Area. Brexit remains unresolved at time of drafting and the potential challenges arising here for the economy and for supply chains are significant. Dublin Port handles the majority of the Nations freight traffic. The impact of a number of years of record growth combined with a range of actions required to prepare for Brexit has meant that Dublin Port is experiencing some level of congestion and may not be as well positioned to deal with the full range of services as heretofore provided. In that context the Country’s other Ports may have to carry a greater share of the workload. Our economic analysis recommends a range of throughput projections due to the complexity and uncertainty of the economic situation. In particular we need to be mindful that changes in the National picture could dramatically change the demands faced by the Port. Environmental Context The Port operates within Waterford Harbour which includes the Lower River Suir SAC and River Barrow and River Nore SAC. The Harbour is ‘shared’ with a range of estuarial stakeholders and 3 activities, including fishing, leisure, commercial and domestic activities. The Masterplan options and actions have been devised, designed and developed on an iterative basis that included an extensive formal process of environmental assessment and consultation. Policy Context Project Ireland 2040 and the National Planning Framework sets out the vision for the development of the Country and there is a real focus on development of the Regions. Port of Waterford is identified as an important economic enabler. The forthcoming Regional Spatial and Economic Strategies is expected to build on that position and similarly the Marine Spatial Plan which is in development will recognise the role of our ports. Port of Waterford Strategy Strategy is formulated to position the Port within national, regional and local planning and economic policy. This positioning is supported by the long-term plan for the provision of infrastructure to deliver the future capacity required by the economy. The short to medium term delivery of strategy is communicated and monitored through the 5-year rolling corporate plan where the ports objectives and performance are set out. Ultimately ports provide infrastructure to deliver operational capacity. Port Capacity Port of Waterford is currently operating well within its operational capacity. The expected demand for port throughputs has been projected out for 25 years using a low, medium and high growth scenario. The low growth scenario sees the current berth infrastructure sufficing until 2037 when an additional 200m of quay is needed. There is no requirement for expansion of the container terminal under this scenario. In the medium growth scenario, we see bulk quay investments in 2029 (200m) and 2041 (200m) with again no container terminal investment required. In the high growth scenario, the bulk investments are similar to those under the medium picture but there is need for a container terminal investment in 2035. Under all scenarios we envisage a requirement for river management works to reduce maintenance dredging, facilitate larger ships and improve navigational safety and access. Furthermore, while there is no apparent and immediate pressure to provide enlarged quay/berth facilities it is necessary to remember that we are operating from a modest base and even moderate shifts in other parts of the economy could have a dramatic bearing on the Port of Waterford situation. This uncertainty combined with the timescales and challenges around consenting processes provides the motivation for a carefully constructed Masterplan to set out the plans for long term infrastructure provision. The size and timing of demand will evolve and the Port needs to be well positioned and flexible in order to deliver Masterplan projects if and as needed. The Masterplan This plan provides the framework to allow Port of Waterford bring forward essential projects for planning and consent purposes as required. It also clearly conveys the scope of the Port’s potential to deliver for the broad range of stakeholders and forms a solid basis for the future formulation of 4 ports and logistical policy at National level. The Masterplanning Process In developing our first formal Masterplan, Port of Waterford has: • Invested in and worked through a comprehensive hydrodynamic and sedimentation modelling process • Consulted with a wide range of stakeholders to understand the potential future commercial and economic challenges • Considered the environmental impacts of possible and potential actions using Strategic Environmental Assessment, Appropriate Assessment and Strategic Flood Risk Assessment • Looked at the geophysical attributes of the Masterplan area • Identified the planning and land use requirements • Assessed the engineering challenges and possible investment costs • Engaged in an economic analysis to understand future demand and its drivers • Assessed market trends in the ports sector and forecast our future growth scenario’s • Prepared financial models for different growth scenarios The Masterplan seeks to set out a balanced and sustainable ‘menu’ of potential actions across the wide aspect of our activities. The plan is intended to be practical, achievable, modular in nature and respectful to the many stakeholders and interested parties that interact with us on so many levels. Port of Waterford is a significant economic facilitator with an important role to play in the economic development of the South East and further afield. To fulfil its role the Port needs to be positioned to deliver the infrastructure and capacity required of it in a timely manner. At a time of significant short-term uncertainty (e.g. Brexit) and when we are seeking to find responses to Climate Change and understand the future shape of our agriculture and transportation models, the onus is on us to have well considered plans in place.

  • THE CASE for HEAVY RAIL Dublin Is in the Process of Finally Deciding the Structure of Its Public Transport System, in Particular
    DECIDING ON DUBLIN'S INTEGRATED TRANSPORT POLICY THE CASE FOR HEAVY RAIL MARTIN ROGERS DUBLIN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY 1. B A C K G R O U N D Dublin is in the process of finally deciding the structure of its public transport system, in particular the form of rail-based transport to be employed in the capital. This process has been ongoing since the early nineties when the Dublin Transport Initiative (DTI) was established to put together a transportation plan for the Greater Dublin Area to the year 2011, publishing its final report in 1995 (DTI, 1995). The problem of resolving the public transport needs for the capital city has its basis in the recommendations of this report. This paper examines the data used to formulate the initial Core Strategy of projects contained within the DTI Final Report which dealt with all surface transport (road, rail, bus, cycling and walking), and examined transport in an integrated sense, inter-relating it with policies such as economic development, employment and the environment. This paper discusses whether the judgements made by the decision-makere within DTI Phase 2 regarding the most appropriate transport strategy for the region were, in retrospect, the correct ones. In particular, this report, in the opinion of the author, did not pick the correct suburban rail option for Dublin as part of its chosen core strategy. It also asks whether any suitable corrective action has been taken in the intervening years as part of the DTI review process to adjust the strategy, where appropriate, and whether the proposed strategy update corrects, to any extent, the original errors committed.

As an organisation we look after some of the island’s most valuable outdoor recreation resources and as an all island body have a clear challenge to demonstrate that working together we can deliver more for people across the island than working separately. The past five years have been challenging, a change in focus, moving from our customers being primarily boat owners to a much broader customer base and new opportunities for growing use of the waterways. Thanks to the skills and experience of our operational teams, despite greatly reduced funding, we have been able to respond to infrastructure failures, commenced lock gate manufacture and replacement, and maintained the hundreds of recreational and amenity sites across the waterways.

  • A Strategic Framework for Investment in Land Transport Background
    Investing In Our Transport Future: A Strategic Framework for Investment in Land Transport Background Paper Eight Impact of Previous Transport Investment in Ireland Issued by: Economic and Financial Evaluation Unit Department Of Transport, Tourism and Sport Leeson Lane Dublin 2 Ireland Background Paper Impacts of Previous Major Projects Over the last decade land transport investment in Ireland formed a key part of programmes for government and development strategies. These strategies1 prioritised significant investment in roads and public transport. The main drivers of this investment were reducing travel times, improving environmental conditions, increasing safety and the obvious links between transport investment and economic growth2 - in particular in terms of increasing our competitiveness. These priorities saw transport investment increase from an average of 1.02% of GDP (1953 - 1997) to an average of 1.43% of GDP (1998 - 2008). In real terms this meant the scale of capital formation increasing from, for example, €838m (2012 prices) in 1996 to €2.6bn (2012 Prices) by 2006. A great deal of this increased investment came as a result of the National Development Plans 2000-2006 and 2007-2012. The following sections give an overview of some of the major transport infrastructure projects that have been completed in the past decade. A brief summary of major projects under the categories of road, heavy rail, light rail and bus are provided. Following this, there will be an in-depth analysis of two major infrastructure projects; the M4/M6 and the LUAS. 1. Road A key part of transport strategy was to upgrade the road network, particularly national roads, as illustrated by investment in this area of approximately €9.1 billion between 2006 and 2010.
